Infrastructure

Bring your own laptop and DAP devices of choice. There should be enough power outlets, although only European. Bring converters if you need them. Unrestricted wifi access ethernet access will be available. A USB hub might be helpful. A webcam for friends who can't attend physically would be great (see below).

Feel free to add extra things onto this list if you feel it is necessary (such as unported targets/etc)

How to get there

Take the train to Leuven or Brussel Noord. From there take the train to Hasselt. Ask at the airport railway ticket desk, the people there will know. From Hasselt station see "By train"

By train

Find a train that stops at Hasselt station.

From Hasselt station, either:

call FrankGevaerts and ask to be picked up. This is easier if several people arrive at about the same time.

take bus H1 direction Kermt to stop "Kuringen Kuringenstraat" or "Kuringen McDonalds?". Ask if you're on the right bus.

walk. route. This is about 3km next to busy roads, so not a very enjoyable walk.

By car

On the E313 (Antwerp-Liege):

if you're coming from Antwerp/Brussels: take exit 27bis (Hasselt-West) and follow direction Hasselt

if you're coming from Liege: take exit 27 (Hasselt-West) and follow direction Hasselt

After about 500m to 1km, at the traffic lights (with a McDonalds? on your right) turn right and park on the supermarket car park.

Now walk to the DevCon location, using the following pictures as a helpful guide:

From Maastricht airport

(these directions have not been verified, use at your own risk) Take the shuttle bus to Maastricht station. From there, take the bus to Hasselt station. From there, follow the "by train" directions.

From Brussels South airport (which is near Charleroi and not actually Brussels)

(these directions have not been verified at all, use at your own risk) There might be a shuttle bus to Charleroi station. From there, take a train to Brussels (either Midi, Central, or North), and from there take a train to Hasselt. This is not a very convenient option.

Hotels and Room Sharing

The nearest hostel is De Roerdomp, around 12 km from the conference location. Add your name here if you want to share a room there.

Hasselt has several hotels at around 3 to 4 km from the conference location.

Fix: make rbutil able to install the previous release. This only requires server-side changes, RockboxUtility can already handle this. Have builds.pm know about exceptions. RockboxUtility should tell the user if the target misses the latest stable release.

People doing support need to be aware of this

Advertise targets as stable on the front page if they're not at the latest release? Yes

Long-term target, "RC not tested -> no release". This obviously depends on the testing system

UsingGit instructions are basic and assume an svn-style workflow. It needs to be expanded. TorneWuff may work on this, but wouldn't mind someone else picking this up. Most instructions on the web assume merge-based workflows while rockbox wants to rebase.
